Pushkin - Eugene Oneigin |
|
For if my mistress find me lying here
She will not ruth or gentle pity show,
But lay her boar-spear down, and with austere
Relentless fingers string the cornel bow,
And draw the feathered notch against her breast,
And loose the arched cord; aye, even now upon the quest
I hear her
hurrying
feet,--awake, awake,
Thou laggard in love's battle!
